Subject: [PATCH v4 04/17] mm/sparse-vmemmap: initialize shared tail vmemmap pages on allocation
Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2026 17:51:26 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260819095140.17252-5-songmuchun@bytedance.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260819095140.17252-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com>
The shared tail vmemmap page allocated in vmemmap_get_tail() used to be
left uninitialized, because memmap_init_range() would later overwrite
it. That forced users such as HugeTLB to defer the initialization to
their own setup paths.
Now that memmap_init_range() skips shared tail vmemmap pages, initialize
them immediately in vmemmap_get_tail() with init_compound_tail()
instead.
This moves the initialization to the point where the shared tail page is
allocated and avoids relying on deferred handling in individual users.
The remaining deferred initialization in HugeTLB will be removed once it
switches to the section-based vmemmap optimization mechanism.
